    I was wondering if anyone could help me to better configure my NT
Workstation?  I have a P II 350, 160 PC100 RAM, 8.4 Gig HD, 8 Meg AGP ATI
RAGE Graphics card, and its run terrible!  I've tried adjusting: virtual
memory, reinstalling SP 4, removing old REG keys, pumping up my max reg
space, coveting to NTFS, leaving 400 + meg free on C drive, chdsk, Microsoft
update.  Granted I have installed a lot of software, mostly graphic
programs, but everyone you can think of.  That's why I don't relish the idea
of setting up my machine again : plugins, customizations, etc..   The system
is not very respondent to the active desktop, I get Dr. Waston daily, it
logins in slow, it basically doesn't run well at all, for its system specs.
The other people in my office have the exact same machine and run much
faster....!
    I'm hoping some NT god can tell what I can do remedy this?  My reg is
like 10 meg, but I have only top line apps on my system.  Does NT
performance degradation that much, when apps are installed on it?  Is there
something I can do in the Registry that can help this problem?  Does
reinstalling over the OS help, SP 5 maybe?

I will bow to the NT GOD that can help me on this!!!!!!
